The meal and service was fantastic! Will definitely return! The beef tip manicotti was a delicious surprise! Squid was unique - cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth!

We have visited Blowing Rock many times and while the town has a number of notable restaurants, Bistro Roca is always on our list to enjoy. Our recent visit was for lunch, and while the atmosphere is busy, the place is still cozy. It is hard to find a restaurant that has such a good feel to it - not... More

We were in Blowing Rock for the weekend. I had serarched trip advisor looking for places to eat/things to do. We ate here on 5/17/13, sat on screened porch outside. It was nice to sit on the porch as the rain began to fall, then they closed the windows and the place got a little loud- but no uncomfortable. Weboth... More

Fine dining at an affordable price. My friend and I each had one of the specials of the night and it looked like a picture from a magazine, but best of all it tasted delicious. Comfy chairs, friendly staff. Reservations recommended, it appears to be a favorite in town.

We have been visiting Blowing Rock for years and just found Bistro Roca. It's a little off the main street but what a great surprise. We stopped there on our way out of town to the Charlotte airport. There were 7 of us and we didn't have a lot of time but they were very accommodating and the food was... More

Very laid back atmosphere. Fresh ingredients & so yummy. We go here twice when we're in town. You can also dine outside on the screened in porch.

We have good friends that live in Newland, NC and when we visit we always go to see what is new in Blowing Rock. We had a delightful and tasty lunch at the Bistro Roca. The fireplace was going and we could see the pizza oven. The food was so good, service was exceptional and the Mac and Cheese was... More

We were visiting Blowing Rock in Feb and asked the locals where to have a great lunch. They recommended Bistro Roca and we thoroughly enjoyed this place. Service was exceptional and food was great. We highly recommend this place.

Heard rave reviews, so we went with our son and his girlfriend to celebrate the end of their school year at App State. Because of the ratings, we figured we'd need a reservation even for a Thursday night. Good thing we made one! When we arrived, there was absolutely no parking places and the restaurant was packed. After driving around... More

We visited for lunch in May, and I was enchanted by the menu. There were many different selections, and all of them were unique. This place is certainly not your run-of-the-mill chain food place, and we were delighted with our experience. The server was very knowledgeable about the food items, and made suggestions that turned out to be excellent. Delighted... More
